This scene is notable for its detailed portrayal of the figures, especially the emotional intensity of Judas's kiss. Goltzius's mastery of the engraving technique is evident in the intricate detail of the figures' clothing and the surrounding landscape, highlighting the emotional turmoil of the moment. This work, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, remains a powerful and poignant depiction of this pivotal event in Christian history.
